why cash game

cash game many people play cash game because of lack of time, others play for easy money, but why should we play cash game?

I believe cash game is better ...you dont need so much time and you can play 3 hands only to get profit.For example if you play AA kk ...and win ....you can double your money just in 2 hands ....

Cash game allows you to earn some value, even if you do not have a lot of time, some tournaments last for many hours and not everyone has how to play and maintain the quality of the game by that time. A regular cash player will have little variance compared to the MTT player, and will likely undergo fewer downswings.

I play mostly Zoom cash games. You get to pick and choose your hands and your spots. Almost no wasted time except when you're stuck in the BB waiting for someone to raise so you can fold out. Start/stop whenever you want. Double up easily. Very few surprises once you know the rules. No pressure from the blinds creeping up on you.

I feel like I am much more in control in cash games than in tournaments. The blinds stay the same so there's no rush or panic that blinds would consume my stack eventually if nothing good comes up. I can also play every hand with full stack even if I lose a big pot before that. Full stack keeps me sane and calms me down to play my A-game even if I am having bad luck. That's why bad beats hurt so much more in tournaments when the stack is gone after that or you are suddenly short-stacked due to bad luck. Of course it's still a loss in cash games as well but it's very different mentally.

I can't personally say that I play cash games because lack of time 'cause usually my cash sessions actually last much longer than tournaments. The reason for that though might also be that I suck at tournaments. But I do like the feeling that I can quit any time I want. Sometimes I play many hours in a row and sometimes I double up during the first few hands, quit happily right away and start doing something else instead. I also appreciate that I don't have to lose my whole buy-in if I don't want to. I can leave whenever I want if I feel that it's not my day really.

I still also play tournaments every now and then but they usually end up with me losing and remembering why I like cash games more

cash game has less variance than tournament and SNGs, so if your skills are solid, making correct decisions, you could be able to profit from it more than SNG and MTT.

Cash game is more deep in a strategic sense. Being 100+ BB deep almost every hand gives room for much more strategic lines.

I like that in cash games I can leave after one orbit. I am not forced to stay for the entire duration of the tournament. I have a habit of late registering tournaments because I don't want to be playing in one all day long. Also in cash games it allows me more options to play a hand.

In late stages of tournaments if you start to get low on chips your only two options for the most part is to go allin or fold. Calling over a quarter of your stack to see a flop with a marginal hand just seems wrong to me. Especially if your gameplan is to fold if you don't hit anything on the flop.

The cash has many advantages over tournaments

The cash has many advantages over tournaments. Firstly, the blinds do not grow, so you can wait for a card for a long time. Secondly, you can get up from the table at any time. Tired of playing or having won enough money, you can immediately finish the game. Well, in the third in the cash is not terrible to go to the all-in because at any time you can buy chips. But in tournaments there is a chance to win more money than in the cash.

For me its the following

- Can start and stop when I want
- Abilty to move from a difficult table to one full of fish
- Can move seats to get direct position on weaker players
- Blinds stay the same

Problem is so can the fish.

One of the biggest reason fish are exploitable is that they have no patience, they will get bored and start playing any 2 cards, with zoom they can fold the rubbish and just quickly get new hole cards.

For that reason I prefer to play normal cash games.

You'd be surprised how many rubbish hands I see played in Zoom. Used to be you only saw premium hands (a lot of AA KK) but not so much these days.

Well becouse someone dont have a time and in cash you can make money very fast also you can lose,in tournament you need to have patiente and wait for6-7 hours to be in reward ,for me cash is alittle better if you have a money and know to play....

I don't play any other games...
